Historic edifices
The now redundant parish church dates from the 11th century and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra. It is a Grade II* listed building in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[1]
The village has an early 19th-century milestone and village pump, which is Grade II listed as a scheduled monument, standing next to the main Grantham to Lincoln road. The inscription on the milestone reads: "From Lincoln 18 miles, from Grantham 7 miles, from London 117 miles".[2][3]
